Apple Working on Fix For iOS Safari Exploit

"Apple says that it has a fix for the browser security flaw discovered earlier this week on its iOS-powered devices."
According to CNET, Apple has a fix for the exploit in mobile Safari. The exploit hinges on how PDFs are rendered by the browser, and allows devices running mobile Safari to be jailbroken. Of course, it also allows an attacker access to your phone, since it can grant root privileges. Apple has not said when the update fixing the flaw will be pushed.
